Last night I noticed a security light at the end of my garden (on the other side of my garden fence) had been smashed in and part of my fence removed (in order to get easier access I assume) so I've been researching things I can do to make it less appealing for thieves.

I already have a six foot fence all round the garden and locked gates. I found an alarmed padlock to add to the gate but there seem to be so many security lights out there I don't know which are the most reliable and which are harder for thieves to break. The next light I get though will be placed much higher up. I also want to get one in the garden shining on the end of the garden so as soon as they poke their greasy little pin heads above the fence it'll go off.

I have one of those million candle torches which I have in my bedroom now. 'course every sound I heard last night I was up and at the window shining it down there. Makes me angry more than scared.

We have those little solar powered garden lights, not sure if they count as security lights though. We live in a safe, friendly area though. Your best bet for deterring thieves is to install a really good security system with lights, alarms and a high fence (it sounds like you already have all of these). A good idea is to also place some of those security stickers/plates that say stuff like "This property is protected by ... alarm systems" and "Trespassers will be prosecuted".

The shoulder plates on the D2 barbs are small in comparison to the D3 barb, and it's more "WoW-like" in some of the D3 screenshots because the shoulder plates look low poly (2D games don't have this problem).

Anyone got any advice or been in a similar position?

Mount the sensors for the lights low and hidden and a 500w light at a high spot.
Just having "normal" lights sure helps. But say if I was about to steal your bike and suddenly a handy 500w working lamp lights me up like Michael Jackson on a bogus pyrotechnician. That would not be handy at all, and running could be an option instead.

Found a sensor which is supposed to be "vandal proof"... Im free for testing!

i heard about these drug dealers that had a pot farm out in some woods and they used fish hooks in the trees around the field to help warn against intruders...
walking along du dududuu omg ahhhh fish hooks in my eyes! ahhh

I can't fully play my bass guitar because my pinky is simply too short to fully execute what it NEEDS to do. Words cannot describe how infuriating that the only thing holding me back is my mother(insert) pinky.

anyway, just needed to vent while I try and vary my scales a bit more.

There's some pretty good bargins going now for the old DVD's, anyone else been skimming for a bargin. Picked up some for $4.95 AUS the other day, not bad. Probably the best one was Darkness Falls. Although Videodrome was so funny back in the day I just had to get that one too. Ended up spending around $40 for a backpack full of B grade horror flicks.

Oh yeah, anyone still out looking for a Jasper? Any news yet? There's none here yet unfortunately but the price just dropped over night from roughly $450 to $299.
